** Similarly, ''Imaginators'' performed well with the critics but sold below expectations [[note]]an early NPD report stated the game had only sold 66,000 retail units in the US, a 41% decline from ‘’Superchargers’’[[/note]], which has led to Activision declaring that 2017 would be the first year since 2010 which would not see the release of a new Skylanders game. A comment in an interview saying that Activision was "waiting to see what the right way to continue investing in it is" suggests that the title averted becoming a FranchiseKiller outright, but only time will tell for sure.

** Camo was originally a cuter looking design with a long snout. He was known as "Sun Dragon" in that state. You can actually see him in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yYMw0TnZRY&t=100 Beginnings Director’s Cut trailer]], though oddly enough the final Camo also appears in it.

** The infamous Heartbreaker Buckshot was intended for a Valentine’s Day release. He even had a page on the now-defunct website. A trailer was even made for him, but the day came and went without him. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiZSItFwkKQ&t=870s According to a QA manager]], he went unreleased because he looked “too evil” and to this day the only remnants of him that have surfaced are prototype figures and his mostly unusable files.
